Korokke Tanaka

For some, strolling through Momodani Shopping Street with a croquette in hand is a familiar pleasure. Korokke Tanaka’s signature item puts the flavour of the potato centre stage. One longtime customer recalls its plain, honest potato taste, while another writes that the simple preparation lets the potato’s flavour come through. Others praise the crisp coating and soft, creamy centre with its gentle sweetness. It is an appealing choice when you want the potato to take the lead.

For something different, try the menchi-katsu, a minced-meat cutlet. One customer says that eating it without any sauce, they found the juices spread with each bite. It may suit diners looking for a more substantial meat option alongside the croquette. Some customers buy both, so you can keep things simple with potato or add a meat cutlet to the order. Enjoy them with rice or savour them soon after buying; as a takeaway shop, Korokke Tanaka is also a handy place to pick up something for the table at home.

Several customer reports mention items selling out around midday. The listed opening hours are 10:00 to 14:30 on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Since sell-out times may vary from day to day, it may be worth going earlier. This deli is in Momodani Shopping Street; the published information says there is no dine-in service and payment is cash only.
